Watch: Rays' Souza Jr. makes miraculous diving catch in foul territory

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Steven Souza Jr. might have been the only one at Tropicana Field who thought this Christian Vazquez foul ball was catchable. He was right.

The Tampa Bay Rays right fielder charged full tilt into foul territory, just behind the bullpen mound, and timed his dive perfectly to prevent Vazquez from seeing another pitch.

With it being only the second out of the inning, Souza Jr. immediately jumped to his feet to throw the ball back into the infield so neither runner could tag up and advance.
